Haha hopefully mike...and ya Shane they look good, I can't wait to get mine back

This is the best time, right when you are starting a build and then towards the end when you know that you will be driving a whole new truck soon. Good luck, hope it makes you

6.0 manifolds with a custom set of up pipes and for turbos im looing at a 66 and an 88 compound set up with the 88 in the fender well

If you guys can think of anything im missing, or can throw in any input let me know

An option could be to run one of our 63 or 66 vgts. We are gonna offer them separate and the T4 casting so you could run an 88 atmosphere. That way you can have nice throttle response until the 88 comes alive. Same thing dustin is doing.

That sounds like a great option Tadd. Go for it Josh!

I'm driving around on a single 63 vgt right now... And it flat gets it and lights instantly. Prolly makes 500-525.

Lol idc my threads can go wherever Its the way good info gets brought up, but I'm thinking that might be a good option and then maybe even go bigger on the atmosphere

The shop that put my motor back in put the wg pipe on backward, I guess it's easy to do if you don't pay attention , so it got bound up and the weld cracked. I wish I would known because since I got it back , it had a weird vibration at 5 psi out of the big turbo. Anyway, against the advice of tadd, I striped the street the other day, and at 37-38 psi the thing was getting it. I was pretty shocked how hard it pulled.

That was the reason for the weld breaking? Fun stuff. How is the single taking care of the smoke?

How did they put the WG pipe in backwards? How is the even possible, it wouldn't match up. Sounds like that shop fed you a line of bullshine.

Have you seen the plumbing for high powers? It doesn't gate to the down pipe. Total different plumbing. It's v banded on each end and Tadd told me they most likely put it on backward because it is very possible to 180 that pipe. The shop is not even aware of what happened.

SEABEE08FX4 · Nov 6, 2011

I guess I would have to look at the picture of them again. I could have swore it dumped to the down pipe.

This pipe goes from the big turbo to the manifold iirc. I honestly haven't looked very deep, just saw the crack and said darn. Guess I'll send it back to elite for another 400 horse power. I never had the weird vibration until the motor swap so something has been arye. When the pipe broke the vibration went away. Because I have multiple boost gauges I can see. The big turbo makes no boost and it whoosh's... But I'm still making good boost with pretty high bp and alot more temps. Truck drives good, in driving it everyday.

does anyone else have their truck shake at stop lights? Just like sometimes the whole truck will shake side to side

Sounds like a miss. Are you getting any balance codes?

That's not good..

And :whs: any codes coming up, pull em on the DD maybe you have a soft code stored that hasn't thrown a CEL yet

Been what I've been thinking since seeing it done with the cummins guys. Smaller secondary, wastegate, big primary. Best of both.
